For a Pokédex to be considered complete, the player must have owned all Pokémon in that Pokédex (except a select few Pokémon). In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, to complete the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] the player only needs to see all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex, not own them.

[[Mythical Pokémon]] ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}) are not usually required to qualify for diplomas; however, in {{game|Platinum}} seeing Manaphy is required to obtain the Sinnoh Pokédex Diploma, and in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} owning Deoxys is required to obtain the National Pokédex Diploma. In the Generation III games and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, owning {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} is not required to complete the any Pokédex.
